摘　　要：Although national learning, i.e., traditional Chinese learning, has been affected by the onslaught of Western learning, its pulse still beats strongly. Its intellectual essence consists in the Chinese emphasis on a complementary ＂relationship＂ of differences that takes shape in the course of production and life and on the harmonious ＂whole,＂ together with Chinese efforts to control their own destiny by virtue of this relationship and this whole. The ＂learning＂ in national learning revolves around man and is vividly manifested in the Confucian concept of ＂benevolence＂ or human-heartedness （ren 仁）. If one were to say that Chinese modernization is nothing other than the Chinese nation＇s ＂self-＇transformation and transcendence under the impact of external forces, then it is national learning that can provide significant intellectual resources for modern Chinese to go about their lives and work through the transmission and extension of the idea of ＂benevolence.＂ However, this can only happen if culture and scholarship are fully ＂self-aware.＂国学即中国传统学术虽然经受了西学的强烈冲击，但其命脉仍葆有生机。中华民族对于在自己的生产生活中所形成的差异互补“关系”与和谐“整体”的重视，以及通过这一关系和整体把握自己命运的努力，构成了国学的思想实质。国学之“学”是围绕着“人”展开的，儒学的“仁”道思想就是鲜明的体现。如果说中国的现代化无非是中华民族在外力作用下的“自我”变革与超越，那么，它恰恰可以通过对仁道思想继承和扩展，为现代中国人的安身立命提供重要的思想资源，但这必须经过文化与学术的充分“自觉”。
